Default WMP 7.1 will not open when clicking mpeg links on the web

Left click once an mpeg file, hold down the shift and right click the file,
select open with and choose 7.1 as the application to be used. Be sure to
mark the "always" box.

I really want to reinstall wmp 6.4 and do not want a higher version due to
all the extras - just use 6.4 as a viewer. (See my other post). However, I
temporarily installed 7.1 until someone can help with 6.4. Now I find that
when running 7.1 with files on my pc all is ok but if I click on an mpeg
link
to view a video file on the web, 7.1 will not open. The only changes I
made
were to make the reg change to prevent the wmp upgrade process from
running
but I do not think this should be a problem. I found this regedit
suggestion
in the ms knowledge database and an positive no other changes in the reg
are
an issue. Please help me get 7.1 running temporarily until I can get
successful info on installing 6.4 again.
